Attolight SA

Company founded: March 2008

Ultrafast spectroscopy for NanoPhotonics.

Attolight AG develops innovative characterization tools and solutions for research laboratories and the semiconductor industry. Attolight’s innovative combination of electron and light microscopy reveals ultra-trace impurities and crystallographic defects not visible using other imaging techniques. The core expertise of Attolight is a measurement technique called cathodoluminescence, a non-destructive characterization method yielding a level of data that provides a deeper understanding of material structures and properties. Attolight addresses a variety of applications: LED performance and reliability, GaN power transistors, deep UV emitters, solar cell efficiency, plasmonics, geology, and biosensors. Attolight invented and launched the first quantitative cathodoluminescence system in 2011 offering a spatial resolution below 10nm, a field of view of 300µm, and an optional 10ps time resolution mode. Attolight also has laboratory facilities and testing capabilities available for contract service measurements.

In the very early stages, startups bear very high risks that are neither carried by public money nor by private investors. Supporting seed stage startups fills a crucial gap and is therefore purely philanthropic.
